You mentioned this once before debeau. If your interp is the one your assoc uses, and I'm a coach, then on every line shot past my outfielders, I instruct my first baseman and pitcher to go set up a human obstacle course between home and first, and entreat the second baseman to join them if possible. If I can keep the BR from reaching first before my outfielders finally retrieve the ball, YOU are going to only give the runner first base.
Can you see why this ruling, then, makes no sense?
